The Bedtime Train

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jamison Odone. A boy goes for a strange, exciting ride on the bedtime train, driven by an engineer resembling his dad. Accompanied by penguins in striped scarves, they travel to the land of penguins and back. The illustrations, showing a dream landscape with fanciful animals and monumental statuary, owe more than a small debt of gratitude to Sendak.
